Chapter 278

As a good friend during the Heaven era, Hephaestus had a certain understanding of Hestia's social network.

Because she was a shut-in who didn't take the initiative to socialize for a long time, Hestia did know many special gods with strange personalities in Heaven.

But Hephaestus had heard Hestia mention the names of these special gods on weekdays.

So she was very sure that Lin Que was not Hestia's acquaintance.

Looking at Lin Que suspiciously for two seconds, Hephaestus took the initiative to ask: "What do you want with Hestia?"

"Hestia just came to the lower world recently, and has not yet officially formed a Familia, and there is no one under her who can be used."

"Besides that, she herself is also a clumsy guy, even if you take her as a subordinate god, you won't get anything."

"If it doesn't go well, it will also cause a lot of extra damage."

"It can be seen that your relationship with her is indeed very good."

Hearing Hephaestus's three-part smear without hesitation, Lin Que couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

"Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions."

"I'm just purely interested in the legendary Goddess of the Sacred Fire and want to meet and chat."

"And if there are no subordinates, it's a good thing for me, so I can let her help me manage the fixed members."

"It seems you have been eyeing Hestia from the beginning."

Hephaestus keenly noticed the key point: "But there is one thing I must tell you in advance."

"Hestia is just working for me to make money, not a member of my Familia."

"Similarly, Hestia has not yet formed a Familia, even if you want to attack a Familia, there is no target to attack."

"If you want to take her as a subordinate god, you have to......"

"I understand, I understand."

Before Hephaestus finished speaking, Lin Que interrupted with a smile.

"If you want to subjugate her as a subordinate god, the salary must be in place."

"When the time comes, I will directly cover food, housing, and expenses, and Hestia should agree."

Do you treat Hestia as a fool? How could she sell herself because of such conditions?

Hephaestus wanted to reply to Lin Que like this.

However, thinking of the personality of her god friend, she finally didn't say this sentence.

Maybe... Hestia really sold herself like this.

Just at the same time Hephaestus took Lin Que to find Hestia, in a corner of the southwest of Orario.

A wooden mansion with a stable impression as the keynote stood quietly here.

Behind the mansion, there was also a huge backyard separated by a handmade fence, with a large piece of land inside.

This is the experimental research place of the Demeter Familia, and also the headquarters of the Demeter Familia inside Orario.

On weekdays, the Demeter Familia studies various fruits and herbs produced in the dungeon here, improving and cultivating them.

Once a practical improvement plan is developed, the Demeter Familia will plant it on the land on the outskirts of Orario for large-scale cultivation.

Because of this, the headquarters of the Demeter Familia inside Orario gathered most of the elite members of the Demeter Familia.

They are all top experts in agriculture, have their own understanding in this field, and are very passionate.

In order to be able to improve more superior seeds, they basically act in the backyard every day.

"The growth is good, it looks like it will bear fruit soon."

After helping the last batch of crops complete watering, Demeter, wearing a white loose long skirt and a straw hat, greeted the surrounding Familia members.

"If there are no accidents, the popularization and cultivation of this batch of Blue Spirit Fruits should be successful."

"Great! The Blue Spirit Fruit tastes sweet and crispy, and both ordinary people in the lower layers and nobles in the upper layers like to eat it!"

"As long as this batch of Blue Spirit Fruits is successfully cultivated, this year's income should increase by a large margin!"

"Good luck, it seems that this year there should be more budget to buy new seeds for research!"

"This time it is really thanks to Goddess Demeter, if it weren't for your help, we might have been stuck for several months!"

"Long live Goddess Demeter!"

Joyful cheers rang out one after another in the backyard of the Demeter Familia.

As the god in charge of grain and agriculture, Demeter's speech is undoubtedly the most authoritative.

According to past experience, every time Demeter says that the cultivation is successful, the results will be obtained in half a month at the latest.

In order to overcome the cultivation problem of the Blue Spirit Fruit, this batch of Demeter Familia members has been studying for nearly a year.

Suddenly receiving such good news, they were naturally excited.

The cheers lasted for several minutes, until Demeter took the initiative to call a stop, these agricultural elites calmed down from the ecstasy.

"Everyone, I know you are very happy."

"But rest is the most important thing now, your recent rest time is too little."

"Now take a day off first, all rest well....."

"Rest? That won't do."

Before Demeter finished speaking, a voice full of murderous intent suddenly sounded.

"Since there is nothing to do, then trouble you to go with me."

"Who!"

The members of the Demeter Familia turned around subconsciously, looking at the figure in the black robe not far away.

"Intruder?"

Demeter seemed to think of something and frowned slightly.

"You wouldn't be... a person from the Lin Que Familia, right?"

"Lin Que Familia? Of course I am not."

The voice of the black-robed figure sounded beside Demeter.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, this intruder who didn't know when to approach reached out and grabbed the neck of a Demeter Familia member.

Crack~!

A crisp sound floated up, instantly detonating the emotions of the members of the Demeter Familia.

"You bastard! You actually killed At!"

"I want to kill you!"

"Go to hell! Damn intruder!"

"No! Everyone calm down!"

Just as the members of the Demeter Familia were immersed in the anger of suddenly losing their companions and took action.

Demeter, who was standing in the back, seemed to see something and shouted in surprise.

"The other party is a first-class adventurer! Don't do it!"

"Too late."

Boom—!
